Sex Column: Farewell

The semester is coming to a close, and I will be leaving my loves behind for the great unknown that is post-grad. We’ve had our ups and downs, but it has been an experience I will never forget. I’m sorry, but I’m breaking up with you, Rowan. Breaking up is never a comfortable thing. You [...]

EDITORIAL: Farewell Whit

More than any other entity, The Whit has defined our college years. Like an old friend, it’s been there through times when we needed to keep ourselves busy to times when we wished The Whit didn’t keep us so busy. I’m sure any editor or writer who has called the pub suite their home away [...]

SGA should make cutbacks with the rest of clubs

With such drastic budget cuts to education in New Jersey and tuition costs rising, the SGA budget raises questions among the Whit editorial staff. The numbers – and their given explanations – simply do not seem to add up. While some of SGA’s own budget allocations seem to go down, the SGA general account went [...]

Sex Column: Porn

Of all of the topics I could think to write for this column, I never would have thought that porn would be one of the more controversial ones. Whenever you bring up porn, you are greeted with either disgust, laughter or a fist pump. So, why would you want to watch porn anyway? Well here [...]

Higher education budget a bust

Governor Chris Christie wants to artificially cap tuition increases in New Jersey four-year public colleges at 4 percent. This is one of the few good things that comes out of Christie’s higher education budget. If approved by the Legislature, the spending plan would follow $62 million in mid-year budget cuts. Together, the cuts would likely [...]

Political Column: Nuclear-Minded Obama

President Barack Obama’s notoriety for being a workaholic is becoming more and more apparent. Only weeks after Congressional Democrat’s oft-lauded victory for health care reform, Obama is already launching into nuclear disarmament. April 12 will begin a two-day gathering of 46 world leaders from the world’s most powerful nations. The announcement of the meeting came [...]

Sex Column: Pride Week

It’s pride week! A week to be proud of being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or simply an ally. I asked a few friends for ideas this week, and a recurring subject was friends’ responses to their coming out. Coming out is a pretty big f-ing deal (in the words of our nation’s vice president). Support [...]

Political Column: The Politics of Momentum

Let’s imagine for a moment that politics isn’t some constantly moving series of back-and-forth debates, referendums and historical analysis and treat it as a more simple analogy: sports. We do, after all, relate and understand far more about sports than politics in Washington and around the country. Perhaps the most important portion of a basketball, [...]

Editorial: Whit stolen computer

In the last two to three weeks, The Whit editorial staff was a victim of theft and it comes solely at the cost of the student body. Through a supplemental from Student Government Association and approved by the Senate, The Whit received $4,000 for four brand new computers for the student newspaper. These computers would [...]

Moscow images are good for the public

When two female suicide bombers detonated bombs in the Moscow subway system on Monday morning killing 39 Russian nationals, citizens reacted both in horror and  in a proactive manner. Citizens and commuters took out their cameras and cell phones and sent video of the tragedy to the Internet. While some critics say that publishing the [...]
